06 LTR 450, runs great, idle great, it bump start with no problems but when I use the start switch it cranks but would not start the engine. After a while of trying it drains my battery. I think is the starter going out or not enough power from the starter. What you guys think?

Having a similar issue. I can hear the starter spin but it doesn’t turn over. Seems like it’s a common issue and may be the “starter clutch” that is on the flywheel. How does it sound when you push button?

It cranks one time and then stops, like a low battery but the battery is fully charged. It almost sounds like the starter does not have enough power to continue to turn the flywheel to allow the engine to start. Once I bump start the bike runs great even stays at idle with no problems after I warm it up. I order a starter to see if any difference.
